Omeon Mykonos

Pause and play

Northside coastal sanctuary

Quiet luxury is the MO of adults-only resort Omeon Mykonos. What begins with a citrussy welcome drink whisked to your side is echoed in the babble of water on your private terrace and the silkiness of the sheets you slide into at night. It’s a bohemian who still hops in a taxi to party in the Chora, but otherwise does sunrise salutations and takes CBD massages in the bijou spa, and lingers over light Aegean plates. This resort’s hushed allure comes over loud and clear.

Planes

Mykonos Airport is about a 20-minute drive away. The hotel can arrange transfers in a car or air-conditioned minivan for a fee (the driver has water and chargers too).

Automobiles

In the area surrounding the hotel, the roads are well used (rather than pedestrian-friendly), so a car or moped could come in handy if you don’t want to pay high taxi fees or live dangerously. Be warned, Myconian drivers have a devil-may-care approach to speed limits, but there is free public parking nearby.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

If you’re looking for a loud night out, you go here (points to the Chora and south of the island); if you’ve already done that and have regrets, or you came to Mykonos to maybe-not-even-Netflix, and chill, then you go to Omeon. So, don’t expect to step out into the action. In fact, you’ll need to negotiate a taxi with some advance notice (the hotel can help or Uber is more reliable than the tumbleweed taxi ranks in town). Those confident in their car-dodging abilities could walk to Agios Stefanos beach, a lovely golden curve with clear waters – and behind the hotel to the other side is a much smaller rockier beach that’s peaceful for a swim nonetheless. Or onsite you can start or end your day with yoga classes or a massage at the hotel. But, you’ll likely head into the Chora to see the windmills and colourful coastal houses of Little Venice (Kastro’s has the best viewpoint), get some snaps or Panagia Paraportiani church, tour the Mykonos Folklore Museum, and wander the flower-draped labyrinthine streets (originally designed to confuse invaders; these days, just fun to get lost in). There are lots of Instagrammable niches dressed with cushions and hibiscus to find; and there are shops aplenty: the Gucci store feels more like a gallery here; upgrade your sunnies at Optique; Jardin sells well-crafted things coloured like Omeon; Mood has fun crochet handbags in acid brights; Makris, Sneakerologie and DSquared sell cool-kid gear; and Kamala sells floaty dresses and kaftans. Matoyianni Street is both picturesque and label-lined, and if you’re looking for more dress-to-impress at Scorpios or SantAnna, head further south to Nammos Village. Otherwise, you could hire a quad bike (find a place opposite the Remezzo entrance), kitesurf at Korfos Bay, taste local wines at Mykonian Farm or Mykonos Vioma, or hop on horseback. Peek into the island’s past and tour a working farm at Rizes Folklore Village, or go much further back with a ferry ride out to Delos’s archaeological site.
